The authors are a licensed psychologist and a clinical social worker who co-own the therapy practice CALM Counseling and specialize in eating disorders; the moderator is a New York clinical psychologist and author of "The Diet-Free Revolution." Based in attachment theory, the book reframes emotional and restrictive eating as a deeper struggle for safety and security. It offers tools to identify why you turn to food to numb painful feelings, explore social media's role in isolation, cultivate healthy coping behaviors, and feel safer in relationships.
